SERVICES / PREPRESS
Prepress
Perfect results on paper. Every time.
Prepress is full of technical details – color profiles, bleed, paper choices and PDF/X standards. We make sure your print files are correct so your design looks just as good (or better) on paper as it does on screen.
Choosing the right service
Prepress and print-file preparation before production
We check the technical side before a file goes to print, so color mode, bleed, fonts, resolution, and the printer requirements are resolved before production.
CMYK and color profiles
Files prepared for the print process, material, and profile instead of relying on screen color.
Printer coordination
We clarify production requirements and deliver the final print-ready version.
Quick answer
Prepress without surprises: color profiles, bleed and PDF/X. We ensure your print files are correct and production-ready.

Frequently asked questions
[ FAQ ]01
What does prepress include?
We check files technically: bleed, safe area, resolution, color space (CMYK), font handling and print readiness. If needed, we fix issues and export a print-ready PDF.
02
Do I need a finished design?
No. If you do not have a design, we can create it — starting from your idea and handling the full process.
Prepress is still a separate service done on the final design.
03
Which file formats are suitable?
We prefer PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4. We can also work with source files (AI, PSD, INDD) if they are properly structured.
04
What fixes do you make?
We fix bleed and safe areas, font issues, image quality (check/replace), and convert color space (RGB → CMYK).
05
How fast can the work be delivered?
Timelines depend on file size and fixes. We most often handle: small print files (e.g. a job ad), logo file cleanup and print-ready setup, brochures and larger print packages.
Typical timing:
File check without fixes: 0.5–1 business day.
Check + fixes: 1–2 business days.
Multi-page jobs: 2–3 business days.
06
How much does it cost and what affects the price?
Pricing depends on number of files, page count, format, amount of fixes and deadline.
Typical budgets:
File check: €15–35 / file.
Check + fixes: €35–90 / file.
Multi-page job: €3 / page.
Graphic design pricing (brochures, roll-ups, print materials, etc.) is on the graphic design page.
